Tom: G
G C C C/B
I’ve got a car that’s always stuck in the last gear.
Am D
It’s starts and it goes if you leave it alone but you can’t steer.
G C C C/B
Taking it out on a Sunday drive on the back roads
Am C D
And it waits till I’m far away from home and the sun is getting low
Chorus 2:
G C C C/B
And wouldn’t you know it, she’s breaking down again
Am C D
Pulling her over onto the shoulder, letting her under my skin
Verse 2:
G C C C/B
I’ve got a woman that I haven’t seen for a good year
Am D
She’s got a new job, yeah I love her a lot but she ain’t here.
G C C C/B
We’ve got a system and she’s got it all worked out
Am C
But there’s something missing that she’s forgetting that she can’t live
D
without
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3: (repeat verse progression)
I’ve got a car, it looks real good with the top down
But it lost a tire and caught on fire in the last town
I’ve got a girl who’s drying her eyes with a haiku
So I’m hitching a ride down 35, gotta be there by afternoon
